Area of practice: Virginia Beach, VAStephanie was such an amazing part of my birth experience, I couldnt have done it without her! I had no idea what I was doing when I found out I was pregnant, my family and I arent really close so I didnt have many people I could go to for support and Stephanie was there every step of the way. She explained everything from nurtition to breastfeeding, helped me form a birth plan, and was at my house every month (in the last month every week!) until I delivered. The best part was that I could call or text her any time day or night with questions or concerns and she never judged me or made me feel like I was overreacting. She stayed with me through my entire delivery (26 hours!) and never slept once. She rubbed my feet and back, played soft music, and made me feel completely supported and empowered in my birth experience. Stephanie is amazing and I will definitly want her to be a part of any pregnancies I have in the future!
